"Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648–95)" is a notable painting by the 18th-century Mexican artist Andrés de Islas, depicting the renowned literary figure and Hieronymite nun, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Sor Juana, often referred to as the "Phoenix of Mexico" and the "Tenth Muse," was a self-taught scholar and poet of the Baroque school, and she is considered one of the first published feminist writers of the New World. Her work has been celebrated for its complexity and insight into themes of gender, power, and knowledge.

The painting by Andrés de Islas is a significant cultural artifact that contributes to the visual legacy of Sor Juana, capturing her intellectual spirit and religious devotion. In the portrait, Sor Juana is typically depicted in her religious habit, often with a book or writing implement in hand, underscoring her life's dedication to learning and literature. The artwork serves not only as a representation of Sor Juana's physical likeness but also as a symbol of her enduring influence on Mexican culture, literature, and feminist thought.

Andrés de Islas, an artist of the colonial period, is known for his religious paintings and portraits. His depiction of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is particularly important as it provides a visual connection to a historical figure whose legacy transcends the literary world, offering insight into the broader socio-cultural context of 17th-century Mexico. The painting is an essential piece for understanding the iconography surrounding Sor Juana, as it reflects the reverence held for her during and after her lifetime, and it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, literary scholars, and feminists alike.
